Plow Testing with Three John Deere Repowers and an 1150 Versatile
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лют 2025
- Welcome back!
This week we managed to test all of our plows for the Rantoul Show. We broke the 12-bottom International Plow twice, the first time being a quick fix, and the second put it out of commission for the time being. All of the other repower plows worked great, and are a couple of fine adjustments away from being ready to go.
I hope you enjoyed, and I'll see ya next time!
Just Love the sound of 19 litres of Cummins heart stopping torque in that 1150 Versatile, that just makes my day.
Nvm I re read the title

Anyone else click the like button before even watching the video? Great stuff as always. I absolutely love that "5015" Detroit powered JD, and I really wish I could attend the Rantoul show and see these things in person. One day I'll have to drive up from Texas and attend myself.
What terrible luck on the IH plow. I felt the frustration when it broke the second time all the way down here!
One small suggestion/question. I'd love it if you'd spend a few more seconds going over the controls and cabs/operator stations on these machines in some of your videos. Biggest machine I've ever operated was a 4020, so I'm not familiar with most of the controls, features and different options of the wide variety of equipment y'all own.
Those tractors sound mean. Love seeing your grandpa out there having fun, unless he keeps breaking stuff. Lol. Look forward to seeing videos of Rantoul
Lmao the look on your grandpas face when that hitch broke was priceless
Awesome job on the tractors and plows. Thank you for wearing the ear protection.
Really enjoyed the video awesome tractors you have. I always enjoy plowing. Growing up we had Massey Ferguson's . The MF 285 pulled 4.16's bottom plow. That was my favorite tractor to plow and work with, it had a much smoother ride then the smaller tractors that we had , a 275, 265 ,255 MF. Today I have a Massey Ferguson 3070 92hp it pulls a 4.16s bottom plow and has a ride very smooth, and a John Deere 5320 64hp pulls 3.16's bottom plow. and a IMT 539 39hp it pulls a 2.14's bottom plow. My son has a John Deere 6120M 120hp and a JD 1070 he did have a JD 5400 wished he kept it was a really good tractor. I am a Massey Ferguson person and a John Deere person.
Tks.....love the tractors....I had a 502o turboed, had a pyromater on it....
If I was rich,..I would of bought a house with a 10 acre yard and put a belly mower on it ,and say I owned the biggest yard tractor....loved it....
Great video. Liked all the tractors. I'm not a Detroit guy, but those 5020's are just freaking awesome man.
The look on ur granddad face was priceless when he was looking at the hitch
I've never seen a steering setup like the one with the cylinders . We had a
IH 6 - 16 & a IH 7 - 16
& we never had any trouble with them , we usually were plowing ground going from a field that had been in hayed for several years about 6 to 7 inches deep ,, but we weren't trying to use a tractor with a big Detroit engine either . Great & informative video .
Hello John, that was another great video! You are absolutely right about the ground in Rantoul. It takes some power and some good adjusting. I really appreciate all the hard work you guys are putting in to the equipment. Be safe and hope to meet you guys there.
I had to lol when the plow broke completely off.... especially after the tongue breaking, I can relate trust me! I dont get mad anymore, I just laugh and move on. Love the JD repowers!
Nice to see someone that knows how to drive an on-land hitch plow!
Except for the broken bottom after forgetting to change the angle of the hitch 🙈
When Grandpa is behind the wheel, we don't go easy on the steel!
That’s a good one!
Another awesome video! Sorry about the frustrations with the plow, but glad that didn't ruin your plans for the show.
Mike Less is just smiling thinking that’s the power of the Versatile.
The re powers sound strong. I’m looking forward to seeing and hearing them in person in 11days.
We’ll miss the Big Bud and WA, what about the 8020?
Should be an awesome show, see ya there!
Farmer Ken
Awesome 😎 video keep them coming 💪💪💪💥💥💥🍺🍺🍺
Love the sound of that Detroit!👍👍👨🌾👨🌾👨🌾👨🌾👨🌾
I just found your channel and really enjoy it. so nice to see what can do with old tractors to make them super!
Great if you have the money and the time to do this and show the world.
Really good looking tractors
Excited to see these in a few weeks!
I will be happy to see a new videos ❤️ my friend
ENJOYED THIS ,,;LOVE THEM TRACTORS....
I am an International man since birth, and still am with my IHC-9400i but those John Deere's re-powered with Detroit's is awesome as hell. My next door neighbors have his and her early model John Deere row tractors for shows with the original JD putt-putt motors but neither of them can do the work of a re-powered JD with Detroit power. The K-Cummins in that International I have no experience with as I've never driven a truck with one installed but it sounds bad-ass. It's just sad that the red plow broke twice with very little effort. Cheap steel. Hook the Versatile up to one of those green plows and see if it can break those lol.
Well you've stumped me with windshield washer fluid! I've always watered the tyres with water, nothing more or nothing less.
If I’m not mistaken they are using the windshield washer fluid so they can leave it in over the winter and it will not freeze.
If you're in the south and it doesn't freeze then you can fill the tires with water. In much of the country where it freezes, you need to use a saline solution, washer fluid or beet juice so that the fluid doesn't freeze.
I love those tractors!!
Thanks Garry!
Growing up with John Deere, the Versatile part of this video is exactly what I imagine farming with red would be like 😂😂
Great Video. Love Your Versatile 1150.
Very nice tractors
Plow lays don't last long at those speeds in the ground! lol Great video!!!
Old school way is to put grease on the moldboards. Try using cheap spray paint. It really holds up good and they will shine up easier. Just food for thought 👍👍
Love the sound of the v12. Look forward to seeing it at Rantoul. I’d like to meet you there, too. You are doing some cool work and appreciate what you do.
Hola John saludos desde Argentina geniales tus tractores bastante instructivos tus videos saludos para el abuelo 👍👍👍
Alt can be ran off the rear acc pulley speaking as an old Detroit tech above 185 water temp will start to cook the o rings between the head and block
Great video thank you love the plowing videos
Thanks for watching!
A real bummer on breaking,. But.... When you have real Horsepower and you Hook Up and that's the drag strip or the farm strip.
The weak links always show.
Very nice collection,. Truthfully I would hate to have to feed those green machines,
I feel the pain at the pump with a measly 58 hp. 4720 4wd
It doesn't have the wonderful sound yours does, but it does whatever I ask it to effortlessly.(totally different game)
Have enjoyed the vids.
That 1150 is just damn awesome. I love that body style of versatiles, they are definitely more modern looking than the old 895-835s.
Murphy is always hiding behind every bush and clot of dirt!
Man I likes the video!
Nice Deere’s
the 5020-6030 drivetrains always amaze when they take on at least 3 times rated hp.
They can take a beating that's for sure!
No they cant
I think he told us this was hard ground. It just means that they're not made for hard plowing. Need some soft stuff!
Sorry I haven't kept up on this. 12v71 = 375 hp, single turbo = 525. Twin turbos = 750. I am guess you have no turbochargers on the 4520. What most people don't know is that the 45/4620s had a very robust drive train, nearly as stout as a 5020. You had to absolutely be an Anvilator to tear one up. No doubt, the Detroits produce enough power to get the job done and you could likely pull the 12 bottom with the 4520 and shorten the life. For the record, 250 gallons of water weighs 2,075 lbs. Washer fluid mixes well with water so should be the same weight per gallon.
First time seeing your stuff. Impressive to see these old beasts getting the job done. But wow, 10 minutes on any of those green ones and you'd be deaf, despite the hearing protection.
I’d use a cat skidder to pull
the 4520 was the only plow that really did a great job plowing!!
Love the 5020
To rephrase the steering you have to turn hard to the right there is a plunger that hits a stop and will allow oil into the system, then hit the raise at the same time and it will charge the system
We did that, but halfway down the field it seemed to lose its effect. You shouldn’t have to rephase the system after every pass.
@@RennerStockFarms then the steering cylinder is probably leaking internally, if there are no visible leaks on the outside
Love your videos! Quite the site to see that plow break!@?
I was at the right place at the right time, thanks Dan!
Around 2:45 I thought auto reset trip bottom plows would do just that...auto reset. One did but maybe you have to slow down to get the other to reset?
My lord I would have to wear earplugs and headset to run that Detroit.
great vid
That red plow was likely made in Wangzhou, China. Certainly likes like high quality Chinese castings!
The old 5020 has about 6 feet of slack in the steering! LOL!
Awesome ❤
Wow, when it rains it pours
Thank You
Can I ask why you use a moldboard plow , vs a tandem disk or chisel plow . Chisel plow uses abt 5 hp per ft. , Tandem disk 7 or 8 . Seems like you are using a lot of fuel to cover the ground
It’s all for fun, fixing up these tractors and hooking them to plows is our hobby.
Nothing like the sound of a Detroit.
Hoo muy bien... Excelente máquina...desde Oaxaca mexico
looking good👍do you prefer the hyd steering or the macanical steering?
So far the hydraulic steering has been nothing but problems, mechanical is my preference.
You should get a JD 12 bottom plow
I’ve always said that these big power houses should be plowing the farmers fields instead of being garage queens. Same for the tractors built for tractor pulls.
Should be in the dam fields working the land.
No doubt they burn a lot of diesel, put it to use
So i don't know allot about North American plows (know plenty about British ones) but seeing what the 1150 did to that IH plow, whats your opinion on Melroe plows? i see more of them in my area, for a good JD i'll probably have to ship one up from northern US as i'd like to match a good plow for my AC 8550 i just got, he currently has super singles and a D6 blade fully attached so he's good for grip, lol
What can I say… I don’t expect much less out of an international implement.
What is your mix of washer fluid for tires? Or is is straight washer fluid, need to load up my 8870 for bunker work.
I understood everyone is using RV antifreeze in rear tires
What size is the FW sitting in the shed?
Have you ever used a white plow? Growing up we had 2 of them, they were good
FW-30 and no we don’t have any white plows, but they are good plows I’ve seen them work.
@@RennerStockFarms Thank you for the reply.
Hope everything goes well in Rantoul
Man, I love those 8V & 12V71 powered 5020's! Detroit FTW!😁👍
God I love the sound of a Detroit
Let it hammer!
Sure good to hear those 2 natural and 1 turbo'd 8V-71 running!
Thanks for another great video. How many years have you been working on the farm with Grandpa and Jake?
All of them, but this year is my first year full time on the farm
I wish someone would invent a 3 point linkage so that you could transfer the weight to the wheels and save lugging all that wieght around
Dual stack John Deere is called a screaming Jimmy Detroit
I have never heard of anyone using windshield washer fluid to put in the tires to add weight, do you not have access to Calcium chloride?
Calcium chloride rusts the rims where windshield washer fluid doesnt
How well do the transmissions hold up with the repower with more hp?
JD Green get her done!
What did you do to beef up the rearend?
Nothing, the 5020 rear ends are pretty stout stock!
@@RennerStockFarms well keep up the videos. I sure enjoy them
Lol, if you didn't have bad luck, you wouldn't have luck at all! Lol
very good ;;; the 12v71 is set up spot on ,; no smoke and pulls easily , the bar rod seems to be the better option to control the tail wheel ..
Better get a big Rome Disk instead of the IH plow.
I always enjoy your videos, even if it is mostly JD. LOL ( IH red all the way around here). We are not going to make Rantoul this year but definitely plan on it in the future. Just curious, how do you get the rigs there. Are you close enough to drive them or do you truck them?
needs the fone with the GPS'er thingie thruned on and like....
MPH in 4th ... MPH in 5th ..... ???? woah... that thing purssss mean'ly ;) lol 11:03
Can you put up a video sometime of how those triples attach interesting I've never seen triple setup like that
We had triples just like that on our 8850 John deere. The inside and the middle tire were both John Deere cast Wheels. They were really solid. The third tire and wheel was a Snap-On, with big j bolts. It was really simple on a John Deere. Don't know what it is like on the versatile.

Nice 12v71 !
Why did some deeres have the boxed in platform? A guy I worked for had a 5010 which did not have that...
The shields around the front of the platform was for trying to keep dust away from the operator. They were found on standard or Wheatland machines. Some had 3 point, some did not. In the early years, the 5010 they did not have 3 point. The row crop 5020 appeared in 1966.
On the 1150
Haha. "God damn international plows..."
And that's why I only plow with John Deere plows lol whether it's 2 bottoms or 10 I only pull jd plows lol
They are substantially heavier plows that’s for sure.
@@RennerStockFarms yup we have (2) 3600 5 bottom plows for our 976 versatile I absolutely love that plow it's awesome and I have a 555 3 bottom for my smaller tractors and a 4 bottom for my 820 and a 3100 5 bottom for my drill tractor
If you’re close you should bring something to our show next year!
@@RennerStockFarms I need to get my engine rebuilt in my truck and get a longer trailer so I can go to things with tractors lol I want to so badly
Detroit Powa!
Sorry you had so much trouble breaking the plow with the Versatile. It's the relentless and overwhelming power of the Cummins 1150....
She pulls good!
Why do you put tripols
That’s how it came when we got it
We had triples just like that on our 8850. It's a least expensive way to get maximum flotation, and traction.
When are you going to make a new video for us ?
Love the sound of a Detroit :)
Was that metal fatigue or was it a weak spot with the plough I bet you enter tractor pulling competition
Got the ol Buzzin' Dozen dialed in...
I need to see that JOHN DEERE 2730 TRACTOR.....
Rev limiter? Whats a rev limiter?
Rev limiter? Never heard of her
One too many hard starts on that hitch eye, I guess. 🤔😳
Metal fatigue seems to be the enemy this year for you guys…but you should still needle grandpa about a heavy foot.😏
Does your camera have stabilization? Video is very shaky. Interesting stuff though.
It does, but you have to run the footage through a separate program and it’s a hassle
@@RennerStockFarms You should consider using it, your videos are difficult to watch with all the shaking.
I'd leave those red plows in the corner of the shed orsell em
Are those 18s or 20s?
